Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) isozymes are directly activated by heterotrimeric G proteins and Ras-like GTPases to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate into the second messengers diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Although PLCs play central roles in myriad signaling cascades, the molecular details of their activation remain poorly understood. As described here, the crystal structure of PLC-beta2 illustrates occlusion of the active site by a loop separating the two halves of the catalytic TIM barrel. Removal of this insertion constitutively activates PLC-beta2 without ablating its capacity to be further stimulated by classical G protein modulators. Similar regulation occurs in other PLC members, and a general mechanism of interfacial activation at membranes is presented that provides a unifying framework for PLC activation by diverse stimuli.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-epsilon (PLC-epsilon) is a recently identified PLC isoform activated by subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins (Galpha(12), Galpha(13), and Gbetagamma) as well as by the low molecular weight GTPases, Rho and Ras. To define the enzymatic activity and substrate specificity of PLC-epsilon as well as its potential direct activation by Rho family GTPases, a major fragment of PLC-epsilon encompassing the catalytic core (EF-hand repeats through the tandem Ras-associating domains; approximately 118 kDa) was purified to near homogeneity and assayed after reconstitution under various conditions. Similar to the enzymatic profiles of previously purified PLC-beta isozymes, the purified fragment of PLC-epsilon maximally hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate at a rate of approximately 10 mumol/mg of protein/min, exhibited phospholipase activity dependent on the concentration of free calcium, and favored phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate as substrate relative to other phosphoinositides. Furthermore, in mixed detergent phospholipid micelles, RhoA stimulated the phospholipase activity of the PLC-epsilon fragment in both a concentration-dependent and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)-dependent manner. This activation was abolished by the deletion of a unique approximately 65 amino acid-insert within the catalytic core of PLC-epsilon. Although Rac1 activated purified PLC-beta2ina guanine nucleotide-dependent manner, Rac1 failed to promote guanine nucleotide-dependent activation of purified PLC-epsilon. These results indicate that PLC-epsilon is a direct downstream effector for RhoA and that RhoA-dependent activation of PLC-epsilon depends on a unique insert within the catalytic core of the phospholipase.

Abstract
RGS proteins (regulators of G protein signaling) attenuate heterotrimeric G protein signaling by functioning as both GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and inhibitors of G protein/effector interaction. RGS2 has been shown to regulate Galpha(q)-mediated inositol lipid signaling. Although purified RGS2 blocks PLC-beta activation by the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine 5'-O-thiophosphate (GTPgammaS), its capacity to regulate inositol lipid signaling under conditions where GTPase-promoted hydrolysis of GTP is operative has not been fully explored. Utilizing the turkey erythrocyte membrane model of inositol lipid signaling, we investigated regulation by RGS2 of both GTP and GTPgammaS-stimulated Galpha(11) signaling. Different inhibitory potencies of RGS2 were observed under conditions assessing its activity as a GAP versus as an effector antagonist; i.e. RGS2 was a 10-20-fold more potent inhibitor of aluminum fluoride and GTP-stimulated PLC-betat activity than of GTPgammaS-promoted PLC-betat activity. We also examined whether RGS2 was regulated by downstream components of the inositol lipid signaling pathway. RGS2 was phosphorylated by PKC in vitro to a stoichiometry of approximately unity by both a mixture of PKC isozymes and individual calcium and phospholipid-dependent PKC isoforms. Moreover, RGS2 was phosphorylated in intact COS7 cells in response to PKC activation by 4beta-phorbol 12beta-myristate 13alpha-acetate and, to a lesser extent, by the P2Y(2) receptor agonist UTP. In vitro phosphorylation of RGS2 by PKC decreased its capacity to attenuate both GTP and GTPgammaS-stimulated PLC-betat activation, with the extent of attenuation correlating with the level of RGS2 phosphorylation. A phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of RGS2 GAP activity was also observed in proteoliposomes reconstituted with purified P2Y(1) receptor and Galpha(q)betagamma. These results identify for the first time a phosphorylation-induced change in the activity of an RGS protein and suggest a mechanism for potentiation of inositol lipid signaling by PKC.

Abstract
The effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation on inositol lipid signaling were examined. Using the turkey erythrocyte model of receptor-regulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, we developed a membrane reconstitution assay to study directly the effects of activation of PKC on the activities of Galpha(11), independent of potential effects on the receptor or on PLC-beta. Membranes isolated from erythrocytes pretreated with 4beta-phorbol-12beta-myristate-13alpha-acetate (PMA) exhibited a decreased capacity for Galpha(11)-mediated activation of purified, reconstituted PLC-beta1. This inhibitory effect was dependent on both the time and concentration of PMA incubation and occurred as a decrease in the efficacy of GTPgammaS for activation of PLC-beta1, both in the presence and absence of agonist; no change in the apparent affinity for the guanine nucleotide occurred. Similar inhibitory effects were observed after treatment with the PKC activator phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate but not after treatment with an inactive phorbol ester. The inhibitory effects of PMA were prevented by coaddition of the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide. Although the effects of PKC could be localized to the membrane, no phosphorylation of Galpha(11) occurred either in vitro in the presence of purified PKC or in intact erythrocytes after PMA treatment. These results support the hypothesis that a signaling protein other than Galpha(11) is the target for PKC and that PKC-promoted phosphorylation of this protein results in a phosphorylation-dependent suppression of Galpha(11)-mediated PLC-beta1 activation.

Abstract
The reconstitution of heterotrimeric G proteins into phospholipid vesicles has been widely used for the measurement of PLC-beta activity in vitro. We have developed an improved and sensitive method for the assay of PLC-beta activity. This approach involves reconstitution of purified betagamma dimers into extruded phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate and using a gel-filtration technique to separate the reconstituted vesicles from monodispersed betagamma dimers and the detergent used to solubilize G proteins. The method provides physical information about the partitioning of betagamma dimers into phospholipid vesicles and was used to examine the effect of different prenyl groups on the gamma subunits in the activation of PLC-beta. The beta1gamma1 dimer (containing the farnesyl group) and the beta1gamma2 dimer (containing the geranylgeranyl group) were purified from baculovirus-infected Sf9 insect cells and were found to partition equally into phospholipid vesicles. The beta1gamma2 dimer is more potent and effective in stimulating PLC-beta activity than the beta1gamma1 dimer. The EC50 values of betagamma dimers for the activation of PLC-beta determined with this method were lower than those determined by previous methodology, showing that betagamma subunits have a subnanomolar affinity for PLC-beta.

Abstract
Although the G protein betagamma dimer is an important mediator in cell signaling, the mechanisms regulating its activity have not been widely investigated. The gamma12 subunit is a known substrate for protein kinase C, suggesting phosphorylation as a potential regulatory mechanism. Therefore, recombinant beta1 gamma12 dimers were overexpressed using the baculovirus/Sf9 insect cell system, purified, and phosphorylated stoichiometrically with protein kinase C alpha. Their ability to support coupling of the Gi1 alpha subunit to the A1 adenosine receptor and to activate type II adenylyl cyclase or phospholipase C-beta was examined. Phosphorylation of the beta1 gamma12 dimer increased its potency in the receptor coupling assay from 6.4 to 1 nM, changed the Kact for stimulation of type II adenylyl cyclase from 14 to 37 nM, and decreased its maximal efficacy by 50%. In contrast, phosphorylation of the dimer had no effect on its ability to activate phospholipase C-beta. The native beta1gamma10 dimer, which has 4 similar amino acids in the phosphorylation site at the N terminus, was not phosphorylated by protein kinase C alpha. Creation of a phosphorylation site in the N terminus of the protein (Gly4 --> Lys) resulted in a beta1 gamma10G4K dimer which could be phosphorylated. The activities of this beta gamma dimer were similar to those of the phosphorylated beta1 gamma12 dimer. Thus, phosphorylation of the beta1 gamma12 dimer on the gamma subunit with protein kinase C alpha regulates its activity in an effector-specific fashion. Because the gamma12 subunit is widely expressed, phosphorylation may be an important mechanism for integration of the multiple signals generated by receptor activation.

Abstract
Xenopus oocytes exhibit both pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive inositol lipid signaling responses to G protein-coupled receptor activation. The G protein subunits Galphai, Galphao, Galphaq, Galphas, and Gbetagamma all have been proposed to function as activators of phospholipase C in oocytes. Ma et al. (Ma, H.-W., Blitzer, R. D., Healy, E. C., Premont, R. T., Landau, E. M., and Iyengar, R. J. Biol. Chem. 268, 19915-19918) cloned a Xenopus phospholipase C (PLC-betaX) that exhibits homology to the PLC-beta class of isoenzymes. Although this enzyme was proposed to function as a signaling protein in the pertussis toxin-sensitive inositol lipid signaling pathway of oocytes, its regulation by G protein subunits has not been directly assessed. As such we have utilized baculovirus-promoted overexpression of PLC-betaX in Sf9 insect cells and have purified a recombinant 150-kDa isoenzyme. PLC-betaX catalyzes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol(4)monophosphate, and reaction velocity is dependent on Ca2+. Recombinant PLC-betaX was activated by both Galphaq and Gbetagamma. PLC-betaX exhibited a higher apparent affinity for Galphaq than Gbetagamma, and Galphaq was more efficacious than Gbetagamma at lower concentrations of PLC-betaX. Relative to other PLC-beta isoenzymes, PLC-betaX was less sensitive to stimulation by Galphaq than PLC-beta1 but similar to PLC-beta2 and PLC-betaT. PLC-betaX was more sensitive to stimulation by Gbetagamma than PLC-beta1 but less sensitive than PLC-beta2 and PLC-betaT. In contrast PLC-betaX was not activated by the pertussis toxin substrate G proteins Galphai1, Galphai2, Galphai3, or Galphao. These results are consistent with the idea that PLC-betaX is regulated by alpha-subunits of the Gq family and by Gbetagamma and do not support the idea that alpha-subunits of pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins are directly involved in regulation of this protein.

Abstract
The interaction of the cyclic AMP and inositol lipid signalling systems was studied in turkey erythrocytes. Elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations by pretreatment of the cells with forskolin or 8-Br-cAMP resulted in a marked decrease in responsiveness of phospholipase C to G-protein activators in membranes prepared from treated cells. Decreases in responsiveness occurred with a t1/2 of approximately 5 min and were reversible after transfer of desensitized cells to drug-free medium. Pretreatment of the cells with forskolin inhibited inositol phosphate formation in a concentration-dependent manner and addition of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX 93-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) during pretreatment increased the capacity of forskolin to desensitize phospholipase C activity. IBMX also produced a similar potentiation of forskolin-stimulated accumulation of cyclic AMP in turkey erythrocytes. Isoproterenol pretreatment of the cells induced, like forskolin, partial inhibition of inositol phosphate generation in response to G-protein activators and to P2y purinoceptor and beta-adrenoceptor agonists. The capacity of isoproterenol to induce desensitization of phospholipase C activity also was increased by the presence of IBMX during pretreatment of the cells. H8 (N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline-sulfonamide), an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-regulated protein kinase, completely prevented forskolin-induced desensitization but only partially blocked isoproterenol-induced desensitization. These results indicate that the cyclic AMP signalling cascade has a major inhibitory influence on receptor- and G-protein-activated inositol lipid signaling.

Abstract
1. We sought to reconstitute and characterize G-protein linked phosphatidyl-D-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-directed phospholipase C (PLC) isoform activity in pig aortic vascular smooth muscle. 2. Six soluble PLC isoforms, namely gamma 1, delta 1 and beta 1 to beta 4 were partially separated by heparin affinity chromatography and were identified by Western blotting using specific antibodies. 3. In separate experiments, PLC activity was measured in the eluted fractions. Four of the partially resolved PLC isoforms gamma 1, beta 4, beta 2 and beta 1, showed corresponding activity using exogenous [3H]-PIP2 as substrate. 4. The isolated soluble PLC isoforms were reconstituted with receptors and guanyl nucleotide regulatory proteins (G-proteins) by addition of plasma membranes, the phospholipids which had been prelabelled with [3H]-myo-inositol. When so reconstituted PLC beta 2, beta 3 and beta 4 were inhibited (40 +/- 9, 47 +/- 12 and 40 +/- 5% respectively n = 12, +/-s.e.mean and each P < 0.05) by the addition of 1 mM guanosine 5'[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG). 5. By contrast, when plasma membranes were preincubated with pertussis toxin to inhibit the activity of G-protein subunits G alpha i/alpha o the activities of PLC beta 2, beta 3 and beta 4 were stimulated (46 +/- 11, 31 +/- 9 and 37 +/- 8% respectively, n = 12, +/- s.e.mean and each P < 0.05) by the addition of p[NH]ppG. 6. Using well resolved fractions containing only PLC beta 3, time-dependent activity in the presence of p[NH]ppG was measurable only with membranes pretreated with pertussis toxin. 7. PLC beta 3 activity, measured with pertussis pretreated membranes, showed a dose-dependent increase in the presence of p[NH]ppG or guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). This increase with 10 microM p[NH]ppG or GTP[S] 10% +/- 4 and 12% +/- 5 respectively (both P < 0.05 vs control without GTP analogue +/- s.e.mean, n = 10) was abolished by 50 microM guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) which also reduced constitutive PLC beta 3 activity by 9% +/- 4. 8. G-protein antibodies were used to neutralize PLC activity. Antibody to G alpha q/alpha 11, added to membrane fractions pretreated with pertussis toxin and assayed with GTP[S], reduced PLC beta 3 activity by 21% +/- 6 P < 0.02, n = 6, but was without effect on non-pertussis pretreated membranes. Antibodies to G alpha i1/alpha i2 had no effect. Antibodies to G-protein beta subunits had no effect on PLC beta 3 activity with pertussis pretreated preparations but activity without pertussis pretreatment was increased by 30% +/- 10, P < 0.03, n = 6. All results were expressed as % change from controls containing rabbit IgG. 9. In conclusion, pig aortic vascular smooth muscle contains six PLC isoforms. Activation of pertussis sensitive G-protein by GTP analogues results in inhibition of PLC beta 3 activity from liberated G-protein beta gamma subunits. Stimulation of PLC beta 3 activity is associated with a G-protein of the G alpha q family acting through the alpha subunit. The results suggest that the G-protein linked PLC beta isoforms in vascular smooth muscle demonstrate dual regulation by an inhibitory pertussis-sensitive pathway and a stimulatory G-protein of the G alpha q family, which is the case for PLC beta 3. This dual regulation is analogous to that of adenyl cyclase.

Abstract
Activation of the P2Y purinoceptor on turkey erythrocytes results in a G11-mediated activation of a phospholipase C-beta isoenzyme and hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides. The role of the protein kinase C and Ca(2+)-mobilizing arms of the inositol lipid signalling cascade in P2Y purinoceptor-induced desensitization of phospholipase C has been examined using erythrocytes as a model system. Preincubation of intact erythrocytes with either P2Y purinoceptor agonist, ADP beta S, or the protein kinase C-activating phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate, 13 acetate (PMA), resulted in a time of preincubation-dependent decrease in guanine nucleotide-, P2Y purinoceptor-, and beta-adrenoceptor-stimulated phospholipase C activities in membranes isolated from these cells. The extent of heterologous desensitization induced by ADP beta S and PMA were additive suggesting that they did not share a common mechanism. A lack of involvement of activation of protein kinase C in P2Y purinoceptor-induced heterologous desensitization was further supported by the observation that although protein kinase C inhibitors or down-regulation of protein kinase C resulted in a loss of PMA-induced desensitization, neither treatment affected the extent of P2Y purinoceptor-induced desensitization. In addition, elevation of intracellular Ca2+ or prevention of its elevation did not induce heterologous desensitization and had no effect on the desensitization induced by ADP beta S. Thus, neither the protein kinase C nor Ca2+ mobilizing arms of the inositol lipid signalling pathway appear to be involved in P2Y purinoceptor promoted heterologous desensitization of phospholipase C. These results are consistent with the existence of a novel feedback pathway for agonist-induced heterologous desensitization of a second messenger generating enzyme. Preincubation of cells with ADP beta S or the beta-adrenoceptor agonist, isoproterenol, followed by rechallenge with each of the receptor agonists revealed that receptor-specific desensitization occurs in addition to heterologous desensitization. Thus, multiple mechanisms account for agonist-induced desensitization of the inositol lipid signalling system of turkey erythrocytes.

Abstract
Differential regulation of PLC-beta 1 and -beta 2 by the G-protein alpha-subunit, G alpha 11, and by G-protein beta gamma-subunits was studied utilizing recombinant PLC-beta 1 and -beta 2. Rat PLC-beta 1 and human PLC-beta 2 were purified after recombinant baculovirus-mediated expression in Sf9 cells. The catalytic properties of the purified recombinant isoenzymes were directly compared to PLC-beta 1 purified from bovine brain and PLC-beta 2 partially purified from HL60 polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The recombinant isoenzymes were indistinguishable from the native isoenzymes with respect to dependence of reaction velocity on bulk PtdIns(4,5)P2 substrate concentration, pH, and free Ca2+ concentration. Marked AlF(4-)-dependent activation was observed upon reconstitution of rPLC-beta 1 with the G-protein alpha-subunit, G alpha 11. Activation occurred with a concentration dependence on G alpha 11 for activation and elevation in reaction velocity that was similar to that of native PLC-beta 1. In contrast, G alpha 11 promoted only a small elevation in the catalytic rate of recombinant PLC-beta 2, which was also typical of the native isoenzyme. Maximal reaction rates with respect to PLC-beta isoenzyme concentration were achieved and indicated that rPLC-beta 2 required 10-fold greater concentrations of both G alpha 11 and of rPLC-beta 2 for activation than did rPLC-beta 1. rPLC-beta 1 and rPLC-beta 2 were also differentially regulated by beta gamma-subunits. This differential activation was not the result of different concentration dependencies on beta gamma-subunit for activation, but rather, the result of the greater degree to which the catalytic rate of PLC-beta 2 was elevated by beta gamma-subunits when compared to PLC-beta 1.

Abstract
Invertebrate visual transduction is thought to be initiated by photoactivation of rhodopsin and its subsequent interaction with a guanyl nucleotide-binding protein (G protein). The identities of the G protein and its target effector have remained elusive, although evidence suggests the involvement of a phospholipase C (PLC). We have identified a phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC from the cytosol of squid retina. The enzyme was purified to near-homogeneity by a combination of carboxymethyl-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose chromatography. The purified PLC, identified as an approximately 140-kDa protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) at a rate of 10-15 mumol/min/mg of protein with 1 microM Ca2+. The partial amino acid sequence of the protein showed homology with a PLC cloned from a Drosophila head library (PLC21) and lesser homology with Drosophila norpA protein and mammalian PLC beta isozymes. Reconstitution of purified squid PLC with an AlF(-)-activated 44-kDa G protein alpha subunit extracted from squid photoreceptor membranes resulted in a significant increase in PIP2 hydrolysis over a range of Ca2+ concentrations while reconstitution with mammalian Gt alpha or Gi 1 alpha was without effect. These results suggest that cephalopod phototransduction is mediated by G alpha-44 activation of a 140-kDa cytosolic PLC.

Abstract
In the cells of higher eukaryotic organisms, there are several messenger pathways of intracellular signal transduction, such as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/Ca2+ signal, voltage-dependent and -independent Ca2+ channels, adenylate cyclase/cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, guanylate cyclase/cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, diacylglycerol/protein kinase C, and growth factors/tyrosine kinase/tyrosine phosphatase. These pathways are present in different cell types and impinge on each other for the modulation of the cell function. Ca2+ is one of the most ubiquitous intracellular messengers mediating transcellular communication in a wide variety of cell types. Over the last decades it has become clear that the activation of many types of cells is accompanied by an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is thought to play an important part in the sequence of events occurring during cell activation. The Ca2+ signal can be divided into two categories: receptor- and voltage-operated Ca2+ signal. This review describes and integrates some recent views of receptor-operated Ca2+ signaling and crosstalk in the context of stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
We describe the reconstitution and purification of a membrane-associated phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PIC) from turkey erythrocyte ghosts. This PIC is responsive to a G-protein coupled to P2y purinergic receptors which are expressed in turkey erythrocytes. Reconstitution is achieved by adding partially purified PIC to [3H]inositol-prelabelled turkey erythrocyte membranes depleted of their endogenous PIC (acceptor membranes). PIC activity is associated with a 52 kDa polypeptide on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Addition of a 307-fold purified enzyme to the acceptor membranes has no effect on basal PIC activity, but markedly increases the response to GTP gamma S and P2y-purinergic receptor activation.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of exogenously added, [3H]inositol-labeled, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by rat parotid membranes was increased, dose-dependently, by the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine (carbachol) in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S). The stimulation was inhibited by atropine and guanosine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S). GTP gamma S alone stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis, with half-maximal activation at 0.1 microM. This was inhibited by GDP beta S but not by atropine. Agonist stimulation of PIP2 hydrolysis was dependent on the presence of lipids (phosphatidylserine:phosphatidylethanolamine:PIP2 = 1:1:1). When PIP2 was added as micelles with detergent (sodium deoxycholate) only, basal hydrolysis was elevated, thus decreasing the relative stimulation by GTP gamma S and carbachol. The water-soluble hydrolysis products formed under either condition were 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate, 1,4-inositol bisphosphate, and cyclic inositol trisphosphate. Hydrolysis of exogenous phosphatidylinositol (PI) was also stimulated by carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S but the extent of PI hydrolysis was 44-fold lower than PIP2 hydrolysis. When [Ca2+] in the medium was increased from 100 nM to 1 microM, basal hydrolysis of both PI and PIP2 increased (9.3- and 19.2-fold, respectively). However, levels of basal and stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis were higher (37.9- and 29.6-fold, respectively) than those of PI hydrolysis. Antibodies (both polyclonal and monoclonal) raised against phospholipase C (PLC beta 1) from bovine brain did not react with any component in either rat parotid membranes or cytosol, although a reactivity was detected in rat brain membranes. A monoclonal antibody against bovine brain PLC gamma 1 detected a approximately 150-kDa protein only in the parotid cytosol, while antisera against bovine brain PLC delta 1 enzyme showed no reactivity with parotid membranes or cytosol. Together, these observations suggest that while there appears to be a protein similar to bovine brain PLC gamma 1 in parotid gland cytosol, the PLC which mediates PIP2 hydrolysis in rat parotid membranes and can be regulated by the muscarinic receptor via a G-protein is distinct from the well-characterized PLC enzymes gamma 1, delta 1, and beta 1.

Abstract
Phospholipase C delta (PLC delta) is strongly inhibited by sphingomyelin (SM). The inhibition occurs in both the presence and the absence of spermine, an activator of PLC delta. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), and phosphatidylinositol (PI) also inhibit PLC delta in the presence of spermine but are much less effective than SM. PE and PC activate and PS and PI inhibit PLC delta in the absence of spermine. Again, the inhibition by PS and PI is much weaker than the inhibition observed with SM. Similar or identical effects are observed in detergent micelle and liposome assays. Comparisons of physiological concentrations of SM with concentrations yielding 50% inhibition of PLC delta in vitro indicate that SM is likely to be a major factor in regulating the activity of PLC delta by inhibition. It is proposed that, in vivo, sphingomyelin acts as an inhibitor of PLC delta, which enables the enzyme to be regulated by activation. In certain circumstances, there is a substantial decline in SM and this may lead to a partial relief of the inhibition. PLC delta is activated by sphingosine in the absence of spermine. However, this activation occurs at unphysiologically high concentrations of sphingosine. The effects of SM and sphingosine on PLC delta in marked contrast to those observed with protein kinase C, which is unaffected by sphingomyelin and inhibited by sphingosine.

Abstract
In cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid [( 3H]AA), bradykinin (BK) stimulation resulted in increased levels of radioactive diacylglycerol, monoacylglycerol, and free AA. The transient increases in content of radioactive diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol preceded the increase in level of free AA, suggesting the contribution of a diacylglycerol lipase pathway to AA release. An analysis of the molecular species of diacylglycerols in unstimulated cultures revealed the presence of two primary [3H]AA-containing species, 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl and 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl diacylglycerol. BK stimulation resulted in a preferential increase in content of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl diacylglycerol. When DRG cultures were labeled with [3H]stearic acid, treatment with BK increased the amount of label in diacylglycerol and free stearic acid, but not in monoacylglycerol. This result suggested that AA release occurred through the successive actions of an sn-1 diacylglycerol lipase and monoacylglycerol lipase. Other data supporting a diacylglycerol lipase pathway was the significant inhibition of [3H]AA release and consequent accumulation of diacylglycerol by RG 80267, which preferentially inhibits diacylglycerol lipase. Analysis of the molecular species profiles of individual phospholipids in DRG neurons indicated that phosphoinositide hydrolysis may account for a significant portion of the rapid increase in content of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl diacylglycerol. We were unable to obtain evidence that the phospholipase A2 pathway makes a significant contribution to BK-stimulated AA release in DRG cultures. Under our assay conditions there were no BK-stimulated increases in levels of radioactive lysophosphatidylinositol, lysophosphatidylcholine, or lysophosphatidylethanolamine in cultures prelabeled with [3H]inositol, [3H]choline, or [3H]-ethanolamine, respectively.

Abstract
Many hormones, neurotransmitters and growth factors, on binding to G protein-coupled receptors or receptors possessing tyrosine kinase activity, increase intracellular levels of the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol. This is due to activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase(s) C (PLC), the isozymes of which are classified into groups, alpha, beta, gamma and delta. The beta, gamma and delta groups themselves contain PLC isozymes which have both common and unique structural domains. Only the gamma 1 isozyme has been implicated in a signal transduction mechanism. This involves association with, and tyrosine phosphorylation by, the ligand-bound epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptors, probably by means of the PLC-gamma 1-specific src homology (SH2) domain. Because EGF receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 stimulates catalytic activity in vitro and G proteins have been implicated in the activation of PLC, we investigated which PLC isozymes are subject to G protein regulation. We have purified an activated G protein alpha subunit that stimulates partially purified phospholipase C and now report that this G protein specifically activates the beta 1 isozyme, but not the gamma 1 and delta 1 isozymes of phospholipase C. We also show that this protein is related to the Gq class of G protein alpha subunits.

Abstract
Phospholipase C is a family of cellular proteins believed to play a significant role in the intracellular signaling mechanisms utilized by diverse hormones. One class of hormones, polypeptide growth factors, elicits its influence on cellular function through stimulation of cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Certain growth factors appear to stimulate cellular phospholipase C activity by selective, receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of the phospholipase C-gamma 1 isozyme. While the role of phospholipase C activity in growth factor regulation of cell proliferation remains to be clarified, the selective growth factor-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 is an interesting example of enzyme-substrate interaction at the crossroads of two important intracellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by phospholipase C yields the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol. This activity is regulated by a variety of hormones through G protein pathways. However, the specific G protein or proteins involved has not been identified. The alpha subunit of a newly discovered pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein (Gq) has recently been isolated and is now shown to stimulate the activity of polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from bovine brain. Both the maximal activity and the affinity of PI-PLC for calcium ion were affected. These results identify Gq as a G protein that regulates PI-PLC.

Abstract
Oscillations in cytosolic free calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) can be elicited in REF52 fibroblasts by three different modes of stimulation. We have previously demonstrated that [Ca2+]i oscillations result when these cells are simultaneously depolarized and stimulated with a hormone linked to phosphoinositide breakdown. Further evidence is now presented that such oscillations are linked to fluctuations in the concentration of IP3 and the Ca2+ content of an IP3-sensitive Ca2+ store. [Ca2+]i oscillations can also be generated in REF52 cells either by direct stimulation of G-proteins with GTP gamma S or AlF4- or by destabilizing the membrane potential and opening voltage-dependent calcium channels. This report compares the different types of oscillations and their mechanisms.

Abstract
Numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and growth factors regulate intracellular events by acting at cell surface receptors which are coupled to the generation of inositol phospholipid-derived intracellular messengers. Receptors trigger the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids by activating phosphoinositidase C (PIC) enzymes. At least four families of genes encode structurally distinct PIC enzymes and it is likely that distinct PIC isoenzymes participate in different pathways of signal transduction. Two different modes of receptor regulation have been identified and these involve distinct PIC isoenzymes. In the first of these, PIC-gamma is a substrate for growth factor receptor protein-tyrosine kinases. The second of these pathways involves PIC-beta plus other isoenzymes whose activities are regulated by G proteins in response to agonist binding to G protein-linked receptors. At least two types of G proteins regulate PIC activity and each may control the activity of different PIC isoenzymes.
